KSOLE and I recently moved in together, yes for the first time! Despite being together for over 7 years (hah). We actually never felt like the timing was right and I know what you’re thinking, “the timing is never right” and yes, you are correct because we moved in on April 1st — in the middle of this whole pandemic and boy, was that fun (*insert sarcastic face).

Scents can wake you up, inspire you, make you sleepy, or ease your nerves. With so many of them, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one works best for you. My preference in scents has certainly changed throughout the years and what I love now will probably change in a year or so too. However, I figure I share what my favorites are now, in case anyone is looking to refresh their scents during this Springtime quarantine.

I’ve been practicing social distancing for a full month now and somehow, I still have my sanity. I figure I put a list of things-to-do for anyone who’s in need of new ways to stay entertained. Hope you find this helpful and if so, share it with your friends who may be bored!

Your home should be your happy place, the place you retreat to after a long day and the place you feel your best in. I mean, it’s also the place where you spend the most money (rent), so why not make it extra cozy and comfy? With these 4 essentials, you’ll be opting out of social events just to stay in (like me).

Many of us asked for more time, complained about not having enough time, not being able to spend more time with their S.O., family, friends, kids, etc. and in a way, we got exactly what we wanted it. Obviously not in the way any of us would’ve wished for, but we got the time now so with that being said, what are you doing with it?

With most stays, I always go off the vibe above everything else, and when I stepped through the bright yellow doors leading into the front porch, I felt a huge sense of calmness. I’ve seen all the photos of the front porch on social media and didn’t expect to actually be impressed still. You know how you’ve seen the Effiel Tower all over the Internet but then when you stand in front of it, you still can’t get over how beautiful it really is? Yeah, that’s pretty much how I felt. It is even more gorgeous in person than in photos. But that’s just the beginning.

While the tones have changed, the brand remains the same — my love for Parachute sheets will never die. The best part about this little refresh was that I got to share the love for this new Terracota color that Parachute introduced with my dear friend, Wesley Taylor.

I’m going to be honest, my favorite type of destinations are ones that have the least amount of people around, which I know is really impossible when you’re on a cruise right? However, I was quite surprised by our recent trip to The Bahamas with Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas.

Happy Place: a memory, situation or activity that makes you feel happy.

Simple enough to comprehend but harder to actually find. What constitutes as a happy place? Does it have to be a real place? How do you know if it’s your happy place? Why is it important to have one?

If your mind is already spinning and you are feeling a little guilty for not fully reading through contracts in the past as well as you maybe should have, don’t worry. In this blog, I’m breaking down 3 key parts of a contract to pay attention to and what they mean.

It’s no surprise that CES is one of the most anticipated events every year, as brands from all around the world show up to show off their latest innovative concepts. I had the pleasure of attending my first ever CES with Dell this year and while I knew it was going to be a good time, I didn’t expect to have also learned some key life lessons along the way.

When I’m feeling stressed and want to get away, the first place I typically opt for is Hawaii. Being from LA, it’s not an easy flight over to the islands but picking which one is . usually the hardest part. This trip, we picked Maui, for the vibes, the food, and for the Fairmont Kea Lani. It was the best decision we made for our last trip of the year.

With what’s left of this decade, I’m already putting together plans, ideas, and goals to conquer 2020, by cleaning up and organizing my life and business. Of course, this involves a lot of reflecting, goal setting, and, of course, rest -- because who wants to be burnt out or exhausted within the new year? I’ll probably go into full hibernation mode for at least 2 days between the 27th and 31st.

But until then, here’s how we can start 2020 strong, together!

If you’re someone who is always online (like me), whether it’s for work or leisure, then you know that safety is a priority. From streaming videos to purchasing those holiday gifts this season, Google wants to ensure that you’re safe online with tips and products that 100% free.

As you may know from Instagram, I have a very tiny space in LA but, I love my cozy home and I’ve made the most out of it with decor, storage strategy and most recently implementing Feng Shui. Feng Shui has always been really interesting to me but I wanted to actually learn about it before just moving stuff around based on something I saw on Pinterest.

It’s that time of year again and with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals happening, I put together a gift guide to help you with your holiday shopping this year. But, this isn’t just any regular holiday gift guide, this one is specifically for that friend or family member you have that prefers to stay in on Friday nights.

Let’s talk about productivity and motivation, and how they are actually two different concepts. The way I see it, motivation is the fuel to put your ideas and dreams into drive. Meanwhile, productivity is what keeps the car going. It’s you stepping on the gas to keep the car in motion by completing the tasks, projects, etc. required to keep your business alive.

Through all the trials and errors, I’m grateful that, four years later, I have made it work (well, at least I think I have, hah). Of course, I learned some things along the way and have narrowed down some tips that may help you if you’re currently struggling.

You can spot it from the freeway and once you enter valet, you have the immediate sense that you’re home. The interior design will leave you in awe while you register exactly where you are, this is Menlo Park. Located about 45-minutes from San Francisco, Menlo Park is also known as Silicon Valley and right next door to Hotel Nia is Facebook’s headquarters. Yep, you’re surrounded by the biggest tech companies but once you step inside your room, you’ll forget all that and be mesmerized by how beautiful your home away from home is.

If you’re familiar with the Bungalow, drive a few minutes past it and you’ll find yourself at Oceana. You won’t find any loud parties or obnoxious drunks here. Nope, this luxurious boutique hotel is suited for those who really want to get away from the craziness of Santa Monica and are seeking a relaxing stay.
